About Ladiko
Ladiko is a quiet, very pretty bay, situated about 15km from Rhodes Town. It is adjacent to Anthony Quinn bay, which is known by the actor's name as he bought this part of the island when filming 'The Guns of Navarrone'. Ladiko Bay with its negligible tides clearly reflects its name, which in Greek means 'always calm'. The lush green vegetation surrounding the bay is reflected in the deep emerald colour of the water. Ladiko Bay is a dive site for more experienced divers, offering a wall dive sloping down to 30+ meters. Along the wall at the deepest point you will experience a slight drift and see a wide variety of Mediterranean sea life and some old amphora.

Dive Site Hazards

  • Edge-Accelerated Currents — Currents often strengthen along drop-off edges.

  • Depth Perception Distortion — Visual contrast can distort perceived depth.

  • Terrain-Induced Descent — Divers may unintentionally follow terrain downward.

  • Unstable Visual Ascents — Relying on wall visuals can destabilise ascents.

  • Gradual Depth Creep — Lack of visual bottom reference can cause unnoticed descent.

  • Unsignalled Downcurrents — Downcurrents can form without visible indicators.

  • Hidden Depth Variations — Complex reef topography can conceal depth changes, leading to unintended profile variations.

  • Distraction from Marine Activity — High fish activity can distract divers and delay depth or gas awareness.

  • Rapid Surge Direction Changes — Surge near reef structures can reverse direction quickly, pushing divers sideways into unexpected areas.

  • Eddy Pull-Off Zones — Eddies behind structures can pull divers away from the main drift line.

  • Delayed Surface Pickup — Strong current can exceed surface tracking assumptions, delaying boat pickup.

  • Vertical Current Shear — Currents may vary by depth, causing vertical separation even when divers stay together.
